Pelvic vein embolization for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
